Reading the link, I'm not sure what the following sentence refers to,
the price of the system or the batteries.
"The batteries are priced at $10,000 for the 4 kWh model up to
$24,000 for the 16 kWh model."
Literally it says that the cost is $10K for 4 KWh batteries. When
compared to the $24K system cost for a system 4 times as big, it
would seem that they are referring to whole system costs with the
same equipment but more batteries.
They wouldn't sell 4 times as many batteries for 2.4 times the cost
(would they)?
If it is 4 kWh of batteries alone for $10K, that wouldn't be much of
a deal, even if they did last 10 years. We are doing far better than
that with AGM, which should last 7 years. If it is for the entire
system, it might start looking competitive.

Enclosed is a photo of what appears to be a test/lab Sonnen system
published in the 01/30/2016 edition of "Power Magazine.
Can plainly see the 8kW Outback Radian inverter and I assume four
12V Sonnen (Sony?) 8kWh Lithium-Ion batteries. Assume this is a
"standard" 48V Radian inverter.

Yes, correct on both. The generator support is there, I did not use it.

Chris,
Nice finish on the Sonnen install. It looks fabulous. My
understanding is the Eco 2-8 integrate the 4kW radian, and the
10-16 incorporates the 8kW radian. I assume generator support is
fully supported

I promised a picture of the Sonnen installation. As these units are
getting close to being appliances in the same vein as home audio,
we wanted to have a clean finish so we made some mill work to
complete the top of the unit to the ceiling and hide the ugly conduits.
